Self-Regulated Strategy Development
Introduction
Federal law mandates that every child, including those with disabilities, receive an equal opportunity for education in the least restrictive environment (Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, 2004). Determining specific disabilities among the student body will require the use of research based strategies to identify specific disorders and to develop strategies which may be employed to promote student success while acknowledging the presence of a federally identified disability.
Literature Search Methods
Determining appropriate articles for review was done by utilizing the online library databases of Old Dominion University and using Boolean searches, specifically peer-reviewed scholarly articles, with limiting dates of publication between the years 2000 and 2016. Using a search for “emotional disturbances AND assessment” yielded a number of results, including a publication titled “Identifying Students With Emotional Disturbance: School Psychologists’ Practices And Perceptions” by Hanchon & Allen (2012). Modifying the Boolean search to “emotional disturbances AND strategies” produced results which included an article titled “Self-regulated strategy development for …show more content…
Among the strategic approaches educators can use is Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD), a method which has been studied on elementary and middle school aged children, suggesting that the strategy may be an effective means of intervention over a wide range of age groups. This also stresses the importance of early intervention practices in order to achieve the optimal results of using the strategy. SRSD aims to build upon positive attitudes which promote self-regulation in the student which will allow them to overcome hurdles that may stand before them (Bak & Asaro-Saddler,
